We had a little smaller Thanksgiving this year. For dinner it was my family, Ivy's parents and her cousin Ken and his family. At 6 the rest of us got together for desert. I deep fried the turkey without burning the house down. Click here for more pictures.

Hats

Our Christmas present from Mandy and Jerel. Mandy made us all these cool hats. Just like our family they are all different but work well together.

Cooper is a bit of a dancer.  He really gets into it.  My favorite part is how he holds his poses.

Arizona trip

Recently flew down to Sun City and drove back with Grandma's possessions. Including her new car. Which by the way has more buttons on the steering wheel than the uhaul had in the whole thing. Garry gave me some good advice on the route to take. I don't remember going up 84 before. It was a scenic drive. I took some pictures as I drove. I know you're thinking that doesn't sound very safe. Don't worry I put my cell phone down while I took the pictures. Click here for more pics.

Amazon prime

Thanks to lifehacker.com for letting us know, Ivy has a free amazon prime membership as a student. That means free two day shipping on all kinds of things sold by amazon. Cooper of course was more impressed with the box than my electric razor or Asher's binder. Maybe with free shipping I can still do all my shopping last minute but online.

Warren Avenue vs Chico C string

Undefeated Warren Avenue against the undefeated Chico C string. They don't have a scoreboard but I think it was 30-16 Warren Avenue favor. They have a nice announcers stand but need a scoreboard. They also had the DJ from trinity doing their game calling I think. Beautiful day and a good football game. Click here for more pics.
